In addition, the term client 100 generally refers to such a device, but is used in a concept including a user who uses the client.

When the server 120 receives the exchange item registration request designated by the category from the client 100, the server 120 registers it in the database 122 and then searches for an item satisfying the exchange condition in the database 122, thereby satisfying the exchange condition.

In addition, the program can be read from a computer readable recording medium having recorded such a program and executed in a general-purpose digital computer system. Such recording media include magnetic storage media (e.g., ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.), optical reading media (e.g., CD-ROM, DVD, etc.) and carrier waves (e.g., transmission over the Internet). Media is included.

So far, the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment (s). Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in a modified form without departing from the essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments should be considered in descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.
